Wartime Sexual Violence: From Silence to Condemnation of a Weapon of War Crawford Kerry F.Paperback
Reports of sexual violence in armed conflict frequently appear in political discussions and news media, presenting a stark contrast to a long history of silence and nonrecognition. Through interviews and primary-source evidence, Kerry F. Conflict-related sexual violence has transitioned rapidly from a neglected human rights issue to an unambiguous security concern on the agendas of powerful states and the United Nations Security Council.
Three case studies--the United States' response to sexual violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1820 in Crawford investigates the reasons for this dramatic change and the implications of the securitization of sexual violence.Views about wartime sexual violence began changing in the 1990s as a result of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and then accelerated in the 2000s.
